In Episode 2, we will follow the Corps of Discovery as they make their way upriver to the Indian villages, and see firsthand how the virtues of hospitality, discipline, curiosity, and posterity worked among the men to see them through extreme difficulties from both men and nature alike.
Quotes from the expedition journal entries are cited throughout this episode. For listener clarity and narrative coherence, some of these quotes have been revised.
Hosted by Scott Einig and edited by Jamie Adams. Featuring the voice talents of Ethan Thomas as Meriwether Lewis and Jared Thomas as William Clark. Special thanks to Larry Morris, author of The Fate of the Corps and In the Wake of Lewis & Clark, and Elin Woodger, author of Encyclopedia of the Lewis & Clark Expedition.
Tune in next time for Part 3, where the Corps of Discovery battles gigantic grizzly bears, discovers beautiful waterfalls, experiences one of American history’s greatest chance encounters, and travels into the Rocky Mountains not knowing if they will make it out alive.
